Abstract

With the outbreak of the Balkan wars, the issue of the Muslim Albanians of Epirus, an ottoman region adjacent to Greeceâs northwestern boundaries, became an increasing matter of concern for Athens. The fact that both features (âMuslimâ and âAlbanianâ) were perceived as inconsistent with the Greek nationalism led to outbursts of violence in this mixed settlement area coveted by Greece as well as by the newly created Albanian State (July 1913). The need to control the disputed territories and to impose to the Great Powers their integration in the Greek realm, led it to implement harsh measures such as forced displacements, deportation, compulsory exchanges, violent retaliations, against tens of thousands of people.

This paper explains the political dynamics in Epirus during the dark years of the Balkan and First World Wars, while underscoring the means and tools promoted by the young Albanian State or the occupying powers (France and Italy) to deal with the refugee topic, either for humanitarian or political purposes. While those policies tried to accommodate various parameters, such as integration measures, rebalancing of demographic balances and irredentist incentives in the vicinity of the contested borders, the refugees developed their own strategies, depending on whether they accept to settle and to assimilate in newly States, or choose to move abroad (sometimes even overseas), pursuing ancient migratory economic practices or refusing the new national order, sticking to their former multicultural ottoman identity.
